Tested over the past 4 years via both home games and classes, these all-ages stories are:

  • Easy tales to read and play for families
  • Solo-playable adventures for early readers
  • Perfect for group guided play in classes and camps
 Great for little kids and early readers.  To the right of this, the graphic shows teh cover of StoryGuider Like Cats and Dogs featuring a drawing of a mouse detective.

The StoryGuider series is designed to be an interactive read for families to enjoy aloud with young kids and let them have say in where the story goes or participate in the activities, giving them a strong connection to the material. 

  • Interactive experience during read-aloud time
  • Kids are engaged with books before learning to read

It's also designed to be a great first step into reading for children who are learning to read on their own, providing a fun adventure that gives them control in the story and with words that are appropriate for early reading levels.

  • First and second grade early reader friendly
  • Combines learning to read with play 

Social-emotional learning

 Intentional social-emotional skill building.  To the left of this, the image shows the cover of StoryGuider Mars Rover Rescue, featuring a drawing of an astronaut next to a ship.

StoryGuider was originally created to align with a pre-K social emotional learning curriculum and has been released in digital only format for a few years, providing us with feedback from the community and showing that it's worked in multiple environments. 

Some of the many skills practiced throughout the stories include: 

  • Sharing
  • Trying new things
  • Self-awarness
  • Regulation techniques
  • Identifying emotions
  • Empathy
  • Teamwork
  • Problem-solving

Playful storytelling

 Choose your character's path as you read.  To the right of this, the image shows the cover of StoryGuider First Day on the Job, featuring a drawing of a wizard.


As you read through StoryGuider, you'll be presented with choices that let you decide what order to explore the story in, what items you'll collect, and how your character will face a variety of challenges.

 Activities combined with reading.  To the left of this, the image shows a drawing of cheese, mushrooms, a flower, and a berry bush branch.

Additional activities ranging from picture identification, remembering instructions, matching, and crafting are interspersed throughout the adventures along with wiggle breaks!  Each story also includes optional extra ways to either expand on the story or incorporate other learning experiences into your journeys.
